Director David Winning joins the Staffa Corner to talk about the Super 8 camera that started his filmmaking journey and the determination it took to make his first feature, Storm. He shares how that early experience led to a career directing science fiction, horror, family television and Hallmark movies.

David also looks back on Stargate Atlantis, Van Helsing, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie and working with a young Ryan Gosling on Breaker High. Along the way, he explains why he still approaches each set with the excitement he felt as a kid making movies with his friends.
